This weekend marks huge appreciation of the older generation, and one Manchester-based charity is shining a spotlight on its own OAPs of the furry variety: Old Age Pooches. Manchester Dogs Trust is encouraging people to consider adopting an elderly dog so they can live out their twilight years with a family.
It comes as this weekend marks the International Day of Older Persons (October 1) and Grandparents’ Day (October 2).
Older dogs are often overlooked because people often want to rehome younger dogs and puppies, but the charity says ‘older dogs have just as much love to give the right owners’.
